If you want a unit that you can use to transport the oil to a recycle center after draining into, this is the unit I use. I usually slip it into a plastic garbage bag and then into a box for transport.

If you want a two piece approach buy any large open 10 qt. pan with a pour spout and this unit from Walmart that is used to transport the oil once drained.

  • I use one like this - it's low enough to slip under the car w/o jacking. It holds more than 10 qts, has plastic grids in the opening where the oil drains so the drain plug doesn't fall into the oil, and has a spout to transfer the old oil to one-gallon plastic jugs to bring to the recycle center. Bought mine at one of the auto parts stores more than 10 years ago - can't remember which one.
